"...The new norm is 10 second naturally aspirated pump gas street cars..."



Wow, it's the "norm" to have 10 sec street cars ! It may be the "norm" where you live. But in my area, there are lots of dedicated (race only) bracket cars still running 11's.

I can hardly imagine driving around on hard street tires, in a 10 sec car. Is this some sort of a status symbol for guys with the $$ to do it ?

I'm not badmouthing anybody. Hey, if I had more money, I'd spend most of it on racing Pontiacs. But I still would not try to drive a 10 sec car on the street. There are 12 sec cars that will make all the tire smoke you want. And street racing is illegal, ain't it ?

I gave up running BF goodies when my car broke broke into the 11's.

As far a spending money I agree with you , but there have been a lot of sets of $500 billet valve covers sold! Although I've never bought any.

The status symbol we are seeing around here is 1000 horsepower to the rear wheels!

Yeah, I can see where that would come in handy if a ricer pulled up beside you, and revved up his engine.
